I don't think I have anything against oligarchy, and I know once I get my new laptop I'll play on a massive map with tons of cities for my first go at it and I think the oligarchy/honor combo REALLY shines there.

Iunno man you're starting to lose me. Took you quite some time to sell off those lux resources, plopping the city down RIGHT as you get a policy, also I'm told legalism gives the buildings in future cities as stated in many topics. I think oligarchy should be taken much later and when you have...

I watched 19 start to finish no issue. Cant wait for more! I have been living vicariously through you and Bibor since my mobo fried T.T

I tend to build roads out from my cities towards the AI cities that are good enough to potentially capture (only if they are pretty nearby of course, and only in my territory). Either way, if they attack you, you can arrange a defense faster, if you attack them you can arrange an attack quicker...

Ye i agree with most ppl above, very fun to watch cannot wait for part two with Nebe, I recall seeing him at the top of the pointiest sticks list by about 3-4x you so it should prove to be interesting.

True, gaiko, I haven't exactly been doing ICS lately ive kinda been spreading them out a little more and adding in 2/3 farms per city like you said actually :P. Dubs, I think that is a problem of mine, I definitely don't sign RAs enough, let alone lock out other spaces for giant RA slingshots...

Before the most recent major patch I was pretty much handling Emperor difficulty without much problem. I do have to commend them for doing something because now for some reason I have a lot of issues keeping up tech wise on KING! I have played many different styles, ICS, holding for the NC and...

Can someone explain to me what the small rewards are that everyone seems to agree are present in civ 4 and not 5 but refuse to give even a small example of? Just like list 5 or so, so that i know what you are all talking about.

A good question, but to add to it, if its a captured city what if you raze and rebuild?

Ill admit i turn off barbs every game i play for one main reason. No not early game, they help there if anything, but late game when you have a large chunk of land with only snow or tundra unsettled. They will pop out from there unless you have the WHOLE place with sentries watching out, costs...

Man I love a good old fashioned argument they can be so fun no? Anyways, to the topic at hand, it's fairly obvious that lemmy is right about all his points, and much better at arguing without insulting which helps to avoid him seeming like a total...something. Kruel you're just being stubborn...

Looking at a picture of your civ, which from outward appearances looks rather puny. This makes me fear even puny civs! Now they all must die!!!

I just wanna say that I was introduced to Civ on Call to Power 2 and looooved all the futuristic stuff then got civ 4 and was sad when it didnt have any of that to my suprise lol. But on that note i really appreciate what you are doing, especially once you get an artist to help on units, cant...

Thanks for all the info guys, im well into my first ICS game and its alota fun, im at 600GPT and still not into the industrial yet, with a massive army ready to crush the romans, its alota fun so far.

Is this like a LAW where there are no exceptions? Or like if you are 1 tile from it being on the coast you can stretch it to 3.
